Kingdom Adventures (part 4) - ministering to those who speak the language Jesus spoke
There are several groups of Christians who still speak a form of the language that Jesus spoke, Aramaic. They live in several different Middle Eastern countries. We happen to visit one of their villages and God showed up.
In this monastery, we asked the nuns if they would pray for us in Aramaic - but none of them spoke it because they weren't from that village. They directed us to a shopkeeper named Abu George (Father of George) who was an Aramaic speaker and would be able to help us. Little did we know what God had set up.
When we got to the shop, we told him that we wanted him to pray for us in Aramaic - he prayed the Lord's prayer (very cool!). While there, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for him and he let us lay hands on him and pray. I don't remember the actual result/outcome of our prayer, but it must have been something, because the next thing we know, he is inviting us to his house to pray for his mentally handicapped and blind granddaughter.
What followed was basically a two hour meeting in this home of Aramaic speaking Middle Eastern Christians. The Lord released many words of knowledge for people and we saw pain leave people's bodies. The prophetic words that the Lord gave us, especially Isaac, were accurate and meaningful. (I'll again let you wait for his blog posts to hear more details).
One of the words I got was for pain in the toes on the left foot. A man named Jameel said it was for him. I prayed and the pain left.
We got a word of knowledge for a woman named Hanan who had a back problem - she was healed. The father of the handicapped daughter, named Abu Rita was also healed as I ministered to him after getting another word of knowledge.
What about the mentally handicapped, blind girl?? We sadly didn't see the breakthrough with her. I prayed over her for a long time - I just held her and cried out to God for His Kingdom to manifest in her body. I saw no change while we were there.
This for some is a difficult concept (especially for those who don't really minister in the area of healing) but there are things that are a much greater challenge than others. Translation: seeing a headache healed is much easier than seeing a blind eye open or a wheel chair emptied. This little girl's condition was a far deeper work of the devil. I asked the Lord to show me what was needed. How would He do it? This is what I saw. I saw an angel come and sit down next to her bed. I saw the angel put his hand upon the little girl. I then told the family that this was the way I felt the Lord was going to work the extraordinary miracle.
We see far more healing in what I term "middle range" conditions, than we do when it comes to chronic, long-term (even from birth) affliction. There are anointings in God that we are contending for that we do not yet have. We will not be discouraged and we will contend for all God will give us in this day and age.
All in all, our time with this family was incredible. Isaac prophesied until he was exhausted. We saw a number of physical healings in that home. We really felt like we did all that "we saw the Father doing" (as we relied on words of knowledge and prophetic words that He gave us).
May that healing angel truly come to visit the little girl and complete the Kingdom ministry that we did not see while with them!
